About ByteWire ForensicsWe Find What Others Miss.
We Find What Others Miss.
We Prove What Others Question.
Digital forensics, risk advisory, and cybercrime capability — built on operational credibility.
ByteWire Forensics was built by investigators who spent decades in the field — collecting evidence, testifying in court, responding to breaches, and training the next generation of cybercrime professionals. We bring that operational depth to every engagement, from forensic examinations to risk assessments to workforce development.
Who we are
Investigators first. Advisors second.
ByteWire Forensics was founded by Dr. Patrick A. Linton and Dr. Bobby Hamilton — career law-enforcement professionals, business owners, certified forensic examiners, and university educators. Our practice is rooted in evidence, not theory.
We serve government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare systems, critical infrastructure operators, and legal teams that need forensic work that holds up in court and risk guidance that reflects real-world conditions.
What we do
Four pillars. One standard of evidence.
Identify exposure before it becomes an incident
Governance frameworks, compliance readiness, vulnerability assessments, and strategic risk planning for regulated industries.
Contain, investigate, and recover
Rapid-response capability for breaches, ransomware, insider threats, and business email compromise. On-call readiness for critical situations.
Protect sensitive spaces and communications
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures for boardrooms, government facilities, legal proceedings, and executive protection environments.
Leadership
Built around experience
Our leadership team brings 36+ years of combined operational experience across law enforcement, government, academia, and private-sector cyber operations.
